Reliability/Machinery Health

Effective stockpile management is essential to mine productivity.

An orchestra of motors, gears, and stacker-reclaimers are susceptible to periodic mechanical failures even though they aren’t as exposed to the extreme operation that other mine assets endure. With regular data collection and other preventative measures, some mechanical issues are detected and resolved. Where productivity suffers, however, is when unplanned downtime strikes as a result of an unforeseen event.
